Looking for info: Cross of Darkness

[Nunsploitation]

I'm looking for info an H-manga called Cross of Darkness.

Who is the artist? The publisher? What year did it come out? What is the story about?

All I know is the title. Looking at the cover (http://www.nunsploitation.net/images/comics/CrossOfDarkness_001.jpg), I'm guessing it has something to do with nuns... Hmm.....

Artist: Jamming (じゃみんぐ; see the Anime News Network Encyclopedia for his official site)
ISBN: 481280082X / 978-4812800829
Date of issue: 1997/10
Publisher: Shishobou/Shishobo/Shi Shobo (司書房)

Jamming also created Kamyla and Vinus File; I have no idea what the manga is about, but Amazon.co.jp may have a description.

Thanks John. I might end up doing the embarrassing N/A under "description". It wouldn't be the first time. Or I might just shelve it until I can find more info.

Jamming's web page is all in Japanese (naturally) and his blog enteries only go back to 2005. I didn't have much luck finding much more from there.

It's not a book that's easily purchased, so it's low priority for me. Now, if it were something sold at AnimeNation... but then, they'd have a nice description for me, too.

Thanks John. I might end up doing the embarrassing N/A under "description". It wouldn't be the first time. Or I might just shelve it until I can find more info.You're welcome! IMHO, I prefer a "N/A" to a "not there"—when I'm researching a topic, I like as much information as possible, and including it may trigger someone who is browsing the site to write to you about it.

Now that I have more time (I last posted when I was supposed to be getting ready for work. -_-; For better answers, post after 5pm. ^_^ ), I checked Getchu.com, and found that the publisher's name is actually Tsukasa Shobou (imprint: Tsukasa Comics). Their description (found using a Google search of their site) is:

"暗黒魔術によりヴァンパイアと化したドラキュラ伯爵はワラキア全土を恐怖の渦にたたき 落とした…。だが高名なダークハンターのルイス・ベルナンデスの手により封印される。 しかし人の悪意が世に満ちるときドラキュラはよみがえり、そのたびにベルナンデスの末 裔と戦いを繰り広げてきた…。クロス・オブ・ダークネスの紋章を受け継ぐベルナンデス の末裔とドラキュラとの壮絶な戦いの物語が本作である。じゃみんぐ渾身の 伝記ロマン。"

Google translation:

"[vuanpaia] the Dracula count who is converted hit the [warakia] all earth in the eddy of fear with the dark magic and dropped…. But it is sealed by the hand of Lewis [berunandesu] of the famous dark hunter. But when malice of the person is full in world, Dracula reading the collar, end of the bell nun death 裔 with unfolded fight at that each time…. End of the bell nun death which succeeds the crest of cross of [dakunesu] 裔 with the story of the heroical fight with Dracula is this work. It is to see the biography romance of the [gu] 渾 body."

Excite Japan translation:

"The Count Dracula that turned into vampire ..whirlpool of fear.. ..beating.. dropped the Warakia whole land by a dark gramary. However, it is sealed with the hand of famous, dark hunter's Lewes Belnandes. However, person's malice revives when the world is filled Dracula, and has unfolded the descendant of Belnandes in every case with the fight. The story of a sublime fight of the descendant and the Dracula of Belnandes that succeeds the crest of crossing Ob darkness is this work. Biography romance of whole body."

The download site DMM has it for sale (they have a much larger cover image), and includes it under the categories "fantasy", "horror", and "best seller".
